I'm a first time mom and i've always known that i'm going to breastfeed. After I have my baby I would love to bounce back, but I know doctor's suggest that you don't diet and do excessive exercise if you breastfeed because the baby needs those calories and nutrients. However, I know that women that breastfeed tend to lose weight anyways because they are giving up to 600 calories a day to the baby. Can I exercise at all? I'm a little confused. I don't want to deprive my baby of the nutrients she needs, but I don't want to be 'more to love' either. Can I take stroller walks as long as i'm not doing any anarobic exercise to an extreme I should be okay right?
